Grace Pottery

Kathleen Sarsfield of Grace Pottery creates pottery in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. It is here in her home studio that she explores with her speckled buff stoneware or traditional porcelain, finding inspiration from nature, as she creates her functional ware.

Kathleen is always thinking about the relationship between her pottery and the food it is used for.

She says, "As I drink my morning coffee from a handmade mug, I slow down and feel the surface of the piece. I enjoy the colors of the glazes and the textures. It's a wonderful way to start the day!"

"Growing our own food, buying local fresh from the farm and using handmade cooking and serving pieces focus all our senses on nourishing ourselves." Grace Pottery
